Alliance of Doctors was added to the Russian foreign agent law list in March 2021.[2]
The alliance was established and registered in 2018. In May 2020 the alliance released an interactive map detailing the problems of hospitals in Russia during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
On 3 March 2021 the Russian Ministry of Justice added the alliance to its list of foreign agents, alleging that the alliance received foreign funding and was engaged in political activity.[4]
On 2 April 2021 the alliance's members announced that they would demonstrate outside Navalny's prison on 6 April unless he receives the doctor of his choice and the medicine he needs by 5 April.[5]
On April 15, 2021, Anastasia Tarabrina, deputy chairman of Alliance of Doctors, resigned from it, justifying this by the excessive politicization of the trade union, and created a new trade union, Voice of Medicine, which is supposed to deal only with medical issues.[6]
In September 2021, the chairman of Alliance of Doctors, Anastasia Vasilyeva, announced that the union was no longer associated with Anti-Corruption Foundation and Navalny's projects.[7]
